It's a long video, but good. It's about stuff--where it comes from and where it goes.
Sorry I haven't been a frequent poster. I think December will be my weekest month since July.

Look at the animals!Category: religion
Tonight. 6:30-8:30. A living nativity, with sheep and babies and everything. There are even pony rides for the kids and a pastor in his own brand new Lafayette Church hoodie.
Oh. Should I not wear a grey hoodie? Did they ever catch the bad guy that always wears a hoodie?

Ten Things I like about Attack!Category: 10 things
1. It's Risk, online (as a facebook app).
2. It's slightly different than Risk, to avoid a lawsuit.
3. But it plays just the same as Risk, only faster.
4. There is a little chat box to make alliances.
5. There is a chat box to talk trash.
6. It fills my desire to take over the world, without me actually having to take over the world.
7. I can take vigilante justice, and when I know that I am not going to win, take the player I feel to be the most deserving down with me.
8. I don't have to count out/move around those tiny little plastic pieces.
9. Its fun to watch losing players desperately seek alliances, as I take them out.
10. Wars on Attack don't cost anything except time.

Talk to WLVL in Lockport -- They used to sell shows, maybe they would donate one to the church as a tax write off.

Sadly, I wouldn't be the first. :::link:::
And I don't think tv church is a particularly good thing.
But I have always wanted to host a radio call-in show. Can any of you hook me up with that?

10 Things I like about u2.Category: 10 things
1. The edge's guitar playing. Effects heavy, rhythmically, and with simple, but beautiful melodies.
2. Bono's lyrics. Many are simulataneously personal, political, and religious.
3. The way every album sounds different with every album, but consistent with itself, and always distinctively u2.
4. Their generosity/activism that goes beyond just about any rock star, all while they still admit to being hypocritical.
5. They've been friends/band mates since high school. For at least 3 of them, this is their first job.
6. They're not just from Ireland, they are from Dublin. They're not just from Dublin, they are from cool neighborhood in Dublin.
7. They were on the Simpsons, and made fun of themselves.
8. Amazingly big live shows that feel amazingly intimate, and surprisingly like church (the way it should feel).
9. I can play (scaled down) versions of their songs on guitar, and even with my weak skills, they sound good.
10. I've never met a u2 fan I didn't like--and there are millions of us.

Derek Webb wrote an interesting article a couple years ago making the case that Johnny Cash and Bono were two of the most important Christians in modern times...

It's a good read if you have the time.

Lovely list and I agree wholeheartedly. And my daughter will agree with Jason. Her first big Rock Show was when U2 came here two years ago. I was the coolest dad ever for a few days.

It is, also in my case, a band you can enjoy with your Dad!

I think you could pull of the grey hoodie without fear as long as the hood is not up. I mean you are the wrong color.
james, that would be simultaneously cooler and cheaper than paying some guy to bring animals into the city.
joshua, where were you when the hoodie attacks took place?
C'mon gimme some credit - today is the first day I've worn the Sabres hoodie to work in over a month! And I have no idea where the gray hoodie is.
Drew, I had the most wonderful dream about the living nativity. You were in your Halloween costume connecting cables from the nativity to the top of the church tower. Then, lightning struck the tower and electrified the plastic members of the nativity to life as you yelled "It's ALIVE!!!!!"
Shit, my brother is a bad guy? :-D
